In the latest episode of Media Unscripted we talk to Benjamin Cohen, founder and CEO of PinkNews, and so much more.
In 2012 Benjamin co-founded and chaired the Out4Marriage, the successful campaign to introduce same-sex marriage in England and Wales. He is also a trustee and non-executive director of Humanity and Inclusion, and a trustee of Wise Thoughts, a London-based LGBTQ+ arts charity.
Benjamin started his career in publishing at the tender age of 16, when he launched JewishNet/soJewish, an early social networking product that pre-dates Facebook. He went on to become the youngest correspondent for a UK network news programme, working as an on-screen correspondent for Channel 4 News.
In this interview Benjamin talks about why social justice has always been his driving force and how he has made this mission into a successful money-making publishing power house.
But he still wants more.
More equality, more equity, more of the advertising spend.
Benjamin is fearless and full of drive and energy. He’s also incredibly savvy, having created the world's most read and watched LGBTQ+ publisher, with a global audience of more than 100 million unique users every month.
